I cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes. The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

Go to the Store menu item on the menu bar, and choose Authorize This Computer, as shown below.
If by any chance you don't see the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

How do I authorize a new computer to play my purchased music on iTunes

I recently got a new computer. My previous computer has iTunes but is no longer able to access the internet. I was able to get my music library from my original computer to the new one. When I try to play music, I get a window asking me to authorize the new computer. I fill in the account and password and press the authorize button. It accepts the password then asks me to download iTunes 6.0. I downloaded and installed iTunes 6 but every time I try to play any of my music, it sends me to the music library to download iTunes 6 again.

HT204074 I need to authorize my new computer to play previous purchases from itunes, I have read the support but can not find store menu topic

I am having a hard time authorizing my new computer for previous purchases on itunes. The support suggestion to go to store menu and select authorize is not materializing anything even remotely similiar. At the store I only see advertisement and topics at the bottom. Can anyone guide me thru this, it really should be easier.

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? (it says go to Store menu and choose Authorize Computer but i don't see that option anywhere)

How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? It prompts me to go to STORE menu, then choose Authorize this Computer (which i don't see anywhere) or Advanced (which I don't see anywhere).

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

HT5610 I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes on my iPad. The directions say to select the "authorize computer" in the menu but i don't see that anywhere in the iTunes menu. Any ideas?

I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes from my ipad. The directions say to select "authorize this computer" from the menu in itunes but I cannot find that anywhere. Either I'm not finding the correct menu or it's somewhere else. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.

I woud appreciate if someone could share a document on how to authorize mulitple computer to a single account.
Thank you

Cant seem to authorize my computer to play a purchased song from itunes.

I purchased a song from itunes today and after it downloaded I was unable play it after being told my computer was not authorized to play the song. After going through the steps to "authorize the computer" I was told it is already authorized. Thinking I was then going to be able to play the song, I was once again being told that my comuter was not authorized. Can't figure out why or how to fix this problem. Help?!

I read in another thread that there was some bug with authorizations. An apparent solution is to try and download the free Single of the Week and play it. It's worth trying:

ITunes said I have to "authorize" my new computer in order to play previously purchased music, how do I do that?

I have a new iMac, when I tried to play previously purchased music on iTunes I was told that I have to "authorize" the new computer, how do I do that?

Authorization
iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
